If you are ready to explore who you are, reach your goals, and find self-awareness, I am ready to help guide you. I believe that, as in other areas of healthcare, taking an integrative approach to mental health can help us become more attuned to our wants and needs, and allow us to examine who we are and how we got here in a multitude of ways and from more than one angle. I approach therapy from a standpoint of non-judgmental curiosity and an anti-oppression lens. You are the expert in your own life, and I am committed to walking the path toward happiness and understanding with you.
I provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults experiencing relationship, sexuality, and LGBTQ+ issues; anxiety; depression; eating disorders; family conflicts; and acute and complex trauma. I utilize a mix of top-down and bottom-up therapeutic modalities to help my patients explore their issues and themselves.
I believe the relationship between therapist and patient is the foundation of progress. Let's make some progress together :)
